had the satisfaction of watching the So
cial triumph ofthe future Mrs Hayes.
Three miserable days Of continual
disappointment, and then Philip de-
termined to 60 back to New York
and see Mona no more until she re-
turned to her country home.
He babe his mother and Cecile good
by, and gave the regulation kiss to
Mona, who received it with perfect
placidity and many kind wishes for
his pleasant journey; for, as he was
to leave very early in the morning,
the ladies did not expect to see him
again before his departure.
AS they passed out of the parlors,
Mona turned moment, and the flash
of the old tenderness made her face
beautiful; her lips parted, and she
hesitated moment as if she would
speak, but finally passed on and
away.
Poor Philip! He took his cigar on
the dark, silent balcony, miserable
enough. But in about half an hour a
timid little figure stole through a de
serted room, and without warning
laid her hand upon his shoulder. He
turned rapidly, all thepassion, which
had grown to deeper intensity in his
suffering, bursting out in one implor-
ing whisper, "Nonar'

Well, you know the end. Philip
did not like the fashionable Mona at
all: his whole heart cried out for the
sweet, natural girl that he had never
priced until he believed her gone for
eyer. The tangled curls, the short
dresses, even the little ruffied aprons,
never more looked homely in his
eyes.
Ever afterward he had the most
wholesome fear of Mona turning
fashionable; and she to this day,
when Philip is the Opposition" re.
minds him of his one experiment in
managing women, and assures him
he would not like his own way if hi
got it, and SO he takes hers, which
after all, have no doubt, is the mos
sensible thing he can do.

Relative Longevity of the Sexes.

The Popular Science News con-
tributes some singular results of a
comparison of the relative longevity
of the sexes. Hebrew women, APP
parently, hold the longest lease of
life and negro women the shortest.
And in the human family, the insect
world, the vegetable kingdom, and
the quadrupeds, the longest life is ac-
corded to the female. Zymotic dis
eases are more fatal to males, and
the mortality is greater among male
children than females. Deverga
gives in his tabulated statements 100
sudden deaths among females to 700
among males; and in the United
States, in 1870 1850 men committed
suicide to $50 females. Pulmonary
consumption is more fatal to females.
All old countries have more females
than males, and royal families more
daughters than sons. Married peO-
pie live longer than single ones, and
the test of statistics establishes the
seeming anomaly that while from
to 6 per cent. more males than
females are born, yet there is an
excess of 6 per cent, in the population
in favor of females.

GROWING OLD.

Is it parting with the roundnesa
OF the smoothly nodded check?
Is it losing from the dimples
Half the flashing JOY they speak?
Is it fading of the luster
From the wavy golden hair9
Is it finding on the forehead
Craven lines of thought and care?
Is it dropping-as the rose leaves
Drop their sweetness, over-blown-
Household names that once were dearer
More familiar than our own?
Is il meeting on the pathway
Faces strange and glances cold,
While the soul with moan and SILVER
Whispers sadly: "growing old?"
On the gradual sloping pathway,
AS the passing years Decline,
Cleans golden love.light, falling,
And the shadows fromlthat brightness
Wrap them softly in their fold,
Who unto celestial whiteness
Walk by way of growing old"
